During my last run of the update manager, I got an error about a broken package. I went into Synaptic and found that it was the Cardapio menu replacement. I completely removed all packages relating to it, then tried to reinstall. I got this error:

E: /var/cache/apt/archives/cardapio-gnomepanel_0.9.179-ubuntu1-maverick1_i386.deb: trying to overwrite '/usr/bin/cardapio-gnome-panel-applet', which is also in package cardapio 0.9.180-ubuntu1-maverick1

I searched AU and found a similar issue. The solution to that problem was found here.

I tried following those instructions, first using the force-overwrite flag, and when that didn't work, the force-all flag. force-all seemed to work, but when I tried running update, I'm still getting errors. Here's the entire terminal session; can anyone help me out?

Finally got it to install correctly. I needed to mark all packages for complete removal from Synaptec, then remove the original PPA via Ubuntu Tweak, then reinstall the PPA using the instructions on the project page.

Thanks for the detailed instructions, but I get an error in step 1. After tons of Gets and unpacking, I get the following: Processing triggers for python-support ... Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/cardapio_0.9.180-ubuntu1-maverick1_i386.deb E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
